People will still buy these consoles and games. Nintendo won’t sell them. What’s the solution?

ABCDE OP ,

Which games aren’t they selling?

Escew ,

Apparently the ones being pirated in this ring. My point is people still want retro gaming consoles and games. If the IP holders aren’t selling them, what do they expect people to do?

Chronographs ,

Pirate them and emulate them, not pay for this crap that doesn’t even meet safety standards.

There are retro revival consoles that aren’t deliberately made to looks like the original incarnations. I think the issue here was that the consoles being sold were deliberate counterfeits of otherwise valuable original retro machines.

For instance, litigious as they are Nintendo has either been unable or unwilling to snuff out things like the RetroN machines which play original Nintendo and SNES cartridges (and Genesis, and some others) but don’t claim to be a Nintendo machine or look like one in any way.

That said, I personally would totally buy a fake OG JDM Super Famicom just to have on the shelf, or even a shell just that looks like one.

Ok at first I thought the title was about a fake prop from a video game which somehow was worth 50m
